Charles Stephen scrutinizes Maaza Mengiste's 'Beneath the Lion's Gaze,' a picture of the revolution and aftermath that struck famine-ridden Ethiopia in 1974, told through the eyes of a fictional doctor and his family. Stephen also uncovers 'Half Moon: Henry Hudson and the Voyage that Redrew the Map of the New World' by Douglas Hunter, a history of the 1609 voyage Hudson undertook to find a northwest passage to the Orient.
